"Breaking cultural barriers"

As part of the language project "Breaking cultural barriers" we host volunteers from Italy and Turkey in our school. 

Our guests run classes for English language students (1B and 2A). During the classes students share with our guests their views on various aspects of life in Poland, Italy and Turkey. 

The classes are conducted entirely in English and give our students the opportunity to test their language skills in both practical and enjoyable way. 

The project will last for several weeks so stay in touch!

Our guest from the United Kingdom

On 12th June our school hosted a meeting with Francis Kelleher, our guest from the United Kingdom.

Our guest gave presentation on life in the Great Britain and he focused on cultural differences between our country and Great Briatin. Also, our guest shared with us his experiences on his almost one-year-long stay in Poland.
